A traditional inn in the Cotswolds that previously welcomed King Charles III has been listed for sale at just under one million pounds.

The Royal Oak, located on Cirencester Road in Tetbury beyond the Oxfordshire boundary, is being handled by the specialist commercial property firm Christie & Co.

The establishment, which received restoration work in 2013, features bar and dining facilities alongside six en-suite guest rooms that generate supplementary revenue.

The monarch has previously called at the venue for a beverage, underscoring its proximity to Highgrove and its longstanding role within the local community.

The proprietors of The Royal Oak expressed pride in what the venue symbolises for Tetbury, describing it as a welcoming establishment with accommodation at the centre of community life. They noted the considerable possibilities ahead and voiced enthusiasm for the future of both the venture and the town.

The Royal Oak entered the property market this month with a freehold price tag of £925,000.

Graeme Clifford, a business agent at Christie & Co overseeing the transaction, observed that the opportunity stands out as a distinctive chance to acquire a premium, long-running Cotswolds venue with solid foundations and promising prospects. He highlighted the quality of the guest accommodation and the establishment’s inclusion in regional guides as indicators of its exceptional standing, suggesting considerable appeal for seasoned operators and those seeking a distinctive hospitality operation in one of the area’s most sought-after market towns.
